Through imaginative play with the handcrafted wooden figures, children discover new ways to express themselves.

This supports their cognitive development and helps them to acquire important social skills. Whether they slip into the role of a knight, farmer or adventurer - the high-quality wooden toys offer countless opportunities to invent and realize new stories again and again. The variety of Ostheimer figures and animals allows children to explore different themed worlds.

Making and materials of the Ostheimer elephant

Each figure is made by hand according to a fixed pattern with great care to preserve the natural beauty of the wood. The use of transparent colors that emphasize the natural wood grain makes each product unique. The finishing oil provides lasting protection for the colors. The saliva-safe and non-toxic paints are carefully matched to the characteristic Ostheimer design and contain no animal ingredients. The use of wood from sustainable forestry ensures a balance between resource use and conservation.

Warning: Caution! Not suitable for children under 3 years of age, as small parts can be detached or broken off and swallowed.
